About this short report

As you read your short report, or any other astrological report, keep in mind that the energies interpreted here are your birth potentials. However, you may or may not choose to actualize these energies in the manner described. Your age, sex, socio-economic situation, education, environment, level of development, and many other factors contribute to the ways in which you express your natal energies. Remember, the planets do not compel you to do or be anything. They influence you, but you still have the free will to determine your own life.

Neptune conjunction Jupiter: Wishes and reality

Mid-March 2017 until mid-January 2019: This is one of the most idealistic times in your life.
This influence arouses your natural sympathies for others and makes you want to help them.
You may help some person close to you who needs assistance, or you may work with sick and
disadvantaged persons in an institutional setting or with charities that aid such people.

This influence may also motivate you to work in some other way to actualize your ideals. Now
it is not enough to simply believe in something, you want to make your beliefs come true as
well. But you may tend to believe that what you want to be true is true, even when it isn't.
Do not get carried away by your idealism.

During this time you may also begin to take an interest in philosophy and religion. You are
very concerned now about how you fit into the universal order, and you are more inclined to
deal with abstract issues and how they relate to your life. In fact you may not want to
bother with the everyday aspects of life, feeling that they are beneath your concern.
Needless to say, that attitude can get you into trouble. Nevertheless, if you can keep track
of life's daily requirements, you will also be able to gain insights into your life that will
make it much more meaningful.

This influence can also give you a foolish confidence that anything you do will work out all
right. As a result you may take risks and gambles or actually indulge in gambling. This is
not an especially lucky or unlucky influence. All it does is make you confuse your wishes
with reality and make you act according to your wishes. It is not a good time to make
long-term investments, because you are seeing the world through rose-colored glasses and are
unwilling to look at business affairs in the cold, hard manner that is required.

From 22 October 2017 until 31 October 2017: This is usually a very favorable influence. It
gives your emotions a great deal of power, so that you feel them much more emphatically and
are more in touch with them. At the same time you want to establish empathetic relationships
with others, to hear their problems, to help out and play a protective role toward them if
possible. This influence may make you feel very sentimental about and attached to your
surroundings and to familiar objects. Your past is very important to you now, and if there
are events in your past that you find uncomfortable, they are likely to come up. There is
often a need to confront the unconscious areas of the psyche during this time, but you should
regard this as an opportunity to be healed of the wounds made by these energies from the past.

In emotional relationships, this influence can create a tension between your desire to be
close to someone and the desire to be free. Be careful to give your loved ones the same
freedom that you want, and do not try to be unfairly possessive of them. Also, confrontations
with the unconscious aspects of yourself mentioned above can affect relationships adversely
during this time. In such cases it is necessary to cultivate a sense of detachment and not
become so wrapped up in your emotions that you cannot see beyond them.

This influence gives an enormous concern with social and individual justice. You are easily
outraged when you see someone getting the short end of the stick, but your emotionalism may
make it difficult to see a good solution to the problem. Try to avoid feeling self-righteous
and intolerant. You will need to have a very open and generous point of view in order to
clear up any conflicts that occur at this time, and emotionalism masquerading as righteousness
will not accomplish anything useful. Instead, take advantage of the ample positive side of
this energy by helping those who need it. Protect the people you can protect and succor those
who have been hurt. Magnanimity is just as much in accordance with the meaning of this
influence as are extreme emotionalism and self-righteousness.

Jupiter conjunction Venus: Elegance and taste

From 30 October 2017 until 8 November 2017: This influence helps to smooth over all
difficulties in your relationships, as well as to promote friendship and give you a strong
desire for happy and peaceful times. You enjoy being with and talking with friends and will
probably attend or hold several social gatherings during this time. You may also be the
center of attention for some reason, and you will enjoy basking in the limelight.

This influence occasionally will bring a new love interest into your life. If it does, and
other factors are equal, the relationship should prove to be an unusually successful one in
which you both grow a great deal and in which there is an excellent balance between love and
freedom. Such a relationship will be devoid of jealousy or pettiness to an unusual extent.

The same energy affects existing relationships, so that you are able to relate to loved ones
with great ease. Because you are concerned with the larger issues in your relationship, you
are not about to cause trouble over any problem that is not extremely important. And such a
problem is not likely to surface during this time.

At this time also your taste is likely to become more elegant, and you may be tempted to buy
something that is very expensive or fancy. At the worst it might even be gaudy or tasteless.
In fact one of the few real dangers to watch out for under this influence is the tendency to
waste or squander money or other resources. Depending upon your own state of mind, however,
this influence can also bring in money and increase your resources. Whichever way it goes, it
should be well under your control.

You have a strong desire to surround yourself with beauty. Sordid or ugly surroundings are
much harder than usual for you to bear, so make an effort to avoid them. You are concerned
with the beautiful side of life at this time, and you should do everything to expose yourself
to it.

Jupiter square Ascendant: On the lookout

Beginning of December 2017 until end of July 2018: This is usually an excellent time for most
kinds of relationships, but there are some pitfalls. Basically this influence signifies a
desire to grow and advance through contacts with others. Probably you are willing to give as
much as you get, although in some people this influence triggers a desire for advantages
through others without giving anything in return. In fact as they get ahead, such people act
arrogantly toward everyone, even those who helped them. This causes others to reject them,
and when they hit hard times there is no one to help them out.

But this result is totally unnecessary, and all you have to do to avoid it is to keep a sense
of humility and recognize what others have done for you. With this influence you have the
potential to become a truly better person, but only if you keep these warnings in mind.

Quite frequently this influence brings a seemingly "lucky" chance through a friend or
associate. But it is not luck so much as the fact that you are very sharply on the lookout
for opportunities that can benefit you. Your sense of timing is very acute, and your
sensitivity to others and their needs is greater than usual. That is one reason why it is so
bad to ignore others' needs, because you don't even have the excuse of ignorance.

Benefits can come to you in either your personal and domestic life or in your work. There may
be an opportunity to make money or to make improvements in your home that will make it much
more pleasant. Or you may meet people who will help you learn more about the world and expand
your view of it in various ways. You have to be willing to let this happen, however, which
means you must be receptive. This is another area in which being arrogant brings the risk
that you will get nothing of lasting value out of this period.

Beginning of December 2017 until beginning of August 2018: At this time you are able to
combine breadth of vision with sharp perception and intellect, knowledge of the particular
with knowledge of the general, and thereby see the whole scope of anything you are involved
in. This reveals itself as foresight and long-range planning ability. This is a good time to
map out your future, because you can understand and interrelate all the elements that will
affect your life.

At the same time, you feel optimistic and proceed with the belief that everything will come
out exactly as you want it to. And it probably will, because you don't get completely carried
away with grandiose thinking. This influence usually indicates a good balance between details
and generality in your thinking, but there is also a tendency to deemphasize the details and
not pay adequate attention to them. If you are not careful, this can result in sloppy or
hasty thinking. Be sure to slow down somewhat and do not get carried away with your plans.
Otherwise, this is an excellent time to make decisions or to conclude any kind of transaction.
It is a superb time to buy or sell, because you will almost certainly be satisfied with the
deal.

As your mind tries to expand, you will want to learn more and more. This is a good time for
returning to school, but even on a less formal level you will be anxious to learn. You may
even travel long distances with this aim in mind. Any dealings with the law should prove to
be quite fortunate for you now. You will prepare for such a confrontation skillfully, leaving
no loose ends to trip you up.

Communications with others are exceedingly fortunate under this influence. Your optimism and
positive state of mind bring you good news from others concerning matters of importance. At
the same time, everything that you say to others is very positive and reinforcing, which
leaves good feelings behind you wherever you go.

Jupiter trine Jupiter: An opportunity

Beginning of December 2017 until beginning of August 2018: This influence usually represents a
time of optimism and positive thinking in your life. You seem to be at a quiet point of
balance that enables you to look over the affairs of your life and get a good perspective on
them. Therefore, it is a good time to make long-range plans and to reorganize. You should
use this time to gain new perspectives through education or travel or by participating in one
of the consciousness raising activities or groups that exist now.

This is a time of psychological and physical equilibrium. If you have recently been ill in
either body or mind, this influence will help tremendously with the healing process.

This is also a good time to examine your ideals and your goals, for it may be possible to
actualize them in various ways now. At other times there is too much tension in your life or
too much resistance from others. If you are involved in any movement for reform, now is a
good time to take some positive action. Or you might become more involved in religion or
philosophy, because you need to know much that is beyond the apparent order of things.

It is quite possible that you will do nothing during this time, because it gives you a feeling
of balance but no drive to do anything in particular. You have an unusual sense of ease and
relaxation now. This is also a good time to travel, both for relaxation and for educational
reasons.

The important point to remember with this influence is that it is fundamentally an
opportunity. You will not feel driven by any energies, nor will you feel any resistance to
your efforts to do something. You can make great use of this time, but you have to take the
initiative.
